I found myself crying in the middle of the cold, windy night. Walking and my hand being held by someone I called a friend but I didn't know what " friend" meant. I was just walking, I did not know where she was taking me, she kept on saying " let's go, we will be fine", tears kept running down my face. I wished I could disappear but the question was " where to" . I continued walking, there was nothing I could do but I was very scared, I feared for my life. A lot was going on, on my mind, thinking that I am still young, I have not even accomplished anything serious that I can say I am proud of, that I was going to die with dreams that have not become a reality. Tears kept rolling down, I wanted to cry my lungs out but I couldn't.
Some two men approached us, and it happened that " my friend" knew them, I got relieved but I did not know that the worst was yet to come. I stood on the side while she was talking to them. I was so innocent, so pure. The one came to me, greeted, got my name and he told me something I was not expecting at all, I was scared to die but I wanted to die same time. She had sold me to one of the two men. I was expected to entertain him, please him for the night and I was going to paid for the pleasure.
I was taken to the other club to drink, I was wanted weak so that I do what was expected from me but I am one young lady that abide the principles I lined out for myself. There was no way I would ever sleep with a man I did not even know, man I just met in middle of the night on the streets. I had a very bad attitude towards them, I was begged by my friend to be nice, entertain them so not to chase them away. I had to act right but I was planning an escape in my head.
Two drinks were enough, the man I was to please started touching my breasts, I removed his hand and he whispered " I like it at the back", I felt pressed and never been so disgusted. I wanted go to rest room, just to look myself at the mirror. When I saw myself at the mirror, I saw my innocence, I saw myself so clean and I saw that what the man wanted was not going to be me and was not going to be my life. I wanted to be warm and sleep so peaceful and I was not get that from that man. I went out from the club and I ran so fast like never before, I ran like I was going to be killed.
My heart was beating faster, I was breathing heavily and I was tired, it was like my heart was going to come out of my mouth. I was scared. I stopped and held my knees, looked down and I tried to pray. When I looked up, I saw a garage, I ran to it and I sat down on the sits that were out the door until the sun came up. I started finding my way to a place I knew I was going to be welcomed, be warm and sleep. I wanted to give up on this life but I remembered I still have a lot to do on this planet earth.
